I’m a versatile manager with hands-on experience in business development, sales and product management. Until recently, I founded and led an eCommerce and Saas/Software company in the fitness classes space. In this role I primarily focused on B2B sales and marketing, although I have done extensive B2C-work with SEO, Content Management, Social Media and Email Marketing. I love advising and working with startups and I never try to impose my ideas on others. Instead, I spend a lot of time understanding the business and the audience before suggesting ideas. I can work well alone, but I’m at my best collaborating with others. I'm an MBA from London Business School and a Bachelor of Engineering from PES Institute of Technology in Bangalore, India. I'm available for freelance consulting roles and can be reached either through this profile or by phone at +44 (0) 7554011039
